Standby mode due to driver action

If a turn signal is used or if the accelerator pedal is pressed, Pilot Assist will temporarily go into standby mode. When the turn signal is switched off or the accelerator pedal is released, Pilot Assist will reactivate automatically.

Automatic reactivation from standby mode can be done within 1 minute. After 1 minute has elapsed, Pilot Assist must be reactivated manually by pressing the P5-1507-Symbol 5x3,5-CC rattknapp Centrum-V button.

Pilot Assist will temporarily go into standby mode if:
  • the brakes are applied
  • the gear selector is moved to the N position.

The driver will then have to regulate speed and distance to the vehicle ahead, or reactivate Pilot Assist manually by pressing the P5-1507-Symbol 5x3,5-CC rattknapp Centrum-V button on the left-side steering wheel keypad.

Automatic standby mode

Pilot Assist interacts with other systems, such as Electronic Stability Control. If any of these other systems are not functioning properly, Pilot Assist will automatically be deactivated.

 Warning

If this happens, the driver will be alerted by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel. The driver will have to adapt the vehicle's speed, apply the brakes when necessary and keep a safe distance to the vehicle ahead.
Pilot Assist switches automatically to standby mode if:
  • the camera cannot detect the traffic lane's side marker lines
  • the vehicle ahead is not within a reasonable (detectable) distance
  • the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel
  • the driver unbuckles the seat belt
  • engine speed (rpm) is too high/low
  • the wheels lose traction
  • brake temperature is too high
  • The camera lens/radar sensor is covered by e.g., wet snow or if heavy rain interferes with radar waves

Reactivating Pilot Assist from standby mode

Press the P5-1507-Symbol 5x3,5-CC rattknapp Centrum-V button (1).
The most recently set speed will be used.
